Abstract: Based on the panel data of 31 provinces and autonomous regions in China in the period from 2001 to 2015, the spatial and temporal coupling model is used to make an empirical analysis of the coordinated development trend and regional difference characteristics of technological innovation, industrial structure and financial development. The results show that,①the technological innovation and financial development in each province show a rapid rise, while the development trend of industrial structure is relatively stable.②The coupling level in all provinces and autonomous regions has been continuously improved, but the overall level of development is not high.③The combination of technology and finance in China is relatively backward and they do not develop in an essentially coordinated manner.④There is a significant difference in the level of coupling between regional technological innovation and financial development, but the gradual increase of the spatial matching of the two will become an important thrust of the continuous evolution of coupling.⑤The spatial matching degree of industrial structure and financial development can support the continuous evolution of coupling, and the promotion of coupling between the two is the key factor of the improvement of the three system coupling relationship.
